About Edward III of England

"Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was King of England from 1327 until his death; he is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous reign of his father, Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe; his reign also saw vital developments in legislation and government—in particular the evolution of the English parliament—as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He is one of only five British monarchs to have ruled England or its successor kingdoms for more than fifty years."

The coronation followed the abdication of his father, Edward II, on the 25th of January. Because he was 14 years old the de facto ruler became Roger Mortimer, Queen Isabella's consort. In 1330 Edward overthrew Mortimer and began to reign in his own right.
